The part/assembly has
multiple configurations, each configurations has a Description in Configuration Specific Property.
The way you describe only works for 1 configuration. I am looking to display the Description of each configuration (may not have asked for that specifically in the first email, sorry).
Think of it as kind of a BOM but reflecting multiple versions of the part/assembly, like a Design Table.
Thanks for your help/interest so far, hopefully this will help you understand what I am looking for.

Start a new drawing. Now insert a view of the part/assy containing Description as a Configuration Specific Property. Now start a note, click on link to property. Select "Model in view specified in sheet properties" and from the pull down menu, select description and OK. You are done.
If you delete all the views from the drawing, the will change to $PRPSHEET:{Description}. And if you add any
part/assy view containing Description as a Configuration Specific Property, the note will get updated.
If you don't want to show the empty note or it being displayed as $PRPSHEET:{Description}, then put the note in the sheet format. For this, right click on the sheet and select Edit sheet format. Now add the note as described above. Just make sure you have a minimum single view in the drawing containing Description as a Configuration Specific Property.
I wish this solve your issue.
